I'm also clueless on Altoona. Good to see all is well with you, Ashley. You've been missed.

Ok, someone tell the Altoona story as I am clueless on the story. You're not alone - I'd like a synopsis too please someone?

Mea culpa on the Altoona confusion. I misread the previous posts. Or to be truthful, probably *didn’t* read and just scanned instead!

I must have missed something, not sure what the significance is of Altoona. I live just a few hours from Altoona, so I would love to know what I am missing! Or is the signed pointed to the side of the road, and that's what's funny? We do have some funny signs in PA! Is it on the turnpike?

I seem to recall it was Sassafrass drama and the peas called the Altoona police to do a welfare check on her.
Turns out she was just fine.
I could be misremembering but that's my recollection of it.

Regarding the origins of the Altoona State Police in Pea history, I confess I do not recall the specifics — what I do remember is one Pea threatening to call the Altoona State Police, but who or over what I don’t know.

Not remembering all of it here, but there was, some where, a pea who threatened to kill herself, and a pea/s tracked her down her locality and the police were called and they located her...

A very long time ago someone at 2Peas threatened to call the Altoona State Police to report another pea (or most of us? Lol) for something. Who or what I no longer recall. But I do seem to remember she used the full phrase “Altoona State Police” (I mean, rather than just the police or Altoona police), so when I was driving into Altoona and saw the “State Police” sign, it very much trigger this memory that I barely remember. :lol:

Some rural areas here and in PA are patrol by the State Police.

I bet you got a good laugh when you saw that sign!

I think of those threads and the Altoona police every time the Altoona Curve baseball team is mentioned (minor league).

That was a blast from the past! I think I had just joined 2peas in the aftermath of that, and I joined right around the time of my DS's birth. He's 21 now. Welcome back, btw! Good to "see" you ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg)
